about us

Innocent people get accused, charged, even convicted all the time. Hundreds of wrongful convictions have proven that you can't just hope that the truth will set you or your loved one free. To have a fair chance, you need a criminal defense lawyer willing to fight for you, someone who knows the law and the system, someone who will listen and investigate.

With 30+ years of combined legal experience, the Law Office of Mike Howard has learned that great outcomes come from focusing on each individual client as a human being, not a defendant. We have a track record of success - not guilty verdicts at trial, dismissals, and favorable plea agreements.
